comments, replies not showing up

    I’m not sure if I’m missing something: My blog is new so excuse the dumb question.

    Some of my posts say “1 reply” at the top right under the title and appear as a link; however, when you click, there is no reply. I believe I’ve only received pings, not replies which I keep approving even though I’m not really sure what they mean even after reading the forum topic on the subject

    One post with this is http://experimentalexpats.com/2014/10/02/malaysias-spectacular-rainforest-a-must-see/

    I want comments to appear on the bottom. If I’m understanding, they need to be approved before appearing? If I’ve received only pings and not comments why do they come up as “1 reply” on the post?

    Thanks

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi,

    Pingbacks are classified as a type of comment, that’s why you see “1 reply” – the “1 reply” refers to the pingback.

    Pingbacks are just basically a link to another website that linked to your post. The particular pingback that you saw is a pingback from your own site.

    These pages explain them much better:

    Let us know if you have further questions!
